It covers several Samsung and Xerox printers. See ppd/*.ppd in +the tarball for supported models. Only SPL2 and SPLc printers are +currently supported; however, work is in progress to implement support +for other SPL printers. -Requirements: cupsddk (slackbuild available at slackbuilds.org) +This requires cupsddk and jbigkit, both of which are available at +SlackBuilds.org). + +IMPORTANT NOTICE: +If you are upgrading your current version, you MUST delete your printer +in the CUPS interface and install it again. This operation MUST be done +since CUPS caches a copy of the PPD file, so if the PPD changes from one +version of splix to the next, cups will still have the cached copy. + + +IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT THE JBIG ALGORITHM: +JBIG-KIT is an optional dependency for SpliX, but it seems that parts of this +algorithm was previously or is still patented. To disable the use of JBIG, add +NO_JBIG=1 when executing the build script: + NO_JBIG=1 ./splix.SlackBuild +Unfortunately, JBIG printers (such as the CLP-600) won't work with SpliX if +the JBIG algorithm is disabled. |
